I added Moles to a project in VS2010, decided I didn't want to use it and then removed the Moles reference and the .behaviours and .moles assemblies. The problem is that I repeatedly find Moles has been readded to the project with no intervention from me. Is there some kind of setting external to a project that will auto-add it if it's installed?

Be sure you have done the following:
- Remove the references to the moles assemblies (e.g. "MyAssembly.Moles")
- Remove reference: Microsoft.Moles.Framework
- Remove all .moles files (toggle the "Show all files" button in the solution explorer -- you must select the test class before doing so)
- Delete the "Moled Assemblies" folder
- Clean the test project (right-click the project in Solution Explorer, and then select Clean)
- Rebuild the test project
- Bask in the glory of a Moles-free test project
UPDATE (2 JULY 2012) I recommend shifting to .NET 4.5 Fakes and Stubs (currently in Release Candidate version). Fakes and Stubs are the productized version of Moles, and are fully supported.

Great! Glad I can help. I recommend shifting to Fakes and Stubs, in VS 2012 (currently in Release Candidate version). Fakes are the productized version of Moles, and is fully supported. – Mike Christian Jul 02 '12 at 21:02
